Help: Do not switch to GET after a 302 redirect

# `--post302`
Respect RFC 7231/6.4.3 and do not convert POST requests into GET requests when
following a 302 redirect. The non-RFC behavior is ubiquitous in web browsers,
so curl does the conversion by default to maintain consistency. A server may
require a POST to remain a POST after such a redirection. This option is
meaningful only when using --location.
